There aren’t many venues that allow patrons to bring in their favorite sips. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is an exception. It must be its commitment to tradition. But it doesn’t mean you have to give up your love for locally made craft brews.

Glass containers are prohibited. Luckily, canning is hot, so there are plenty of options. All beers listed below are available at their brewery locations or at Central Indiana liquor stores and groceries.

Remember, the higher the alcohol by volume (ABV) the more alcohol in the beer, so drink responsibly. “Session” beers are relatively low in alcohol content, usually less than 5 percent ABV. And if you don’t like hops, stay away from high IBUs. Also, your drinks have to fit into a cooler that is 18 inches wide by 14 inches long by 14 inches deep or smaller.

Row 1

Flat12 Bierwerks, Indianapolis and Jeffersonville, red IPA, 6.4 percent ABV, 100 IBUs: This brew is all about the 100th running of the Indy 500 — 100 IBUs for a century of racing and 33 bags of hops for every driver on the field. There’s even an addition of milk sugar — you know why. Plus, IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe helped brew it.

2. Race Day

Daredevil Brewing Co., Speedway, American craft lager, 5.2 percent ABV, 22 IBUs: The race day beer, brewed just down the street from the famous oval. Only available in a limited number of crowlers (32-ounce cans filled on site at the brewery) starting in mid-May.

3. One Hundred Traminette

Mallow Run Winery, Bargersville, semi-sweet white wine: Meet Indiana’s first canned wine, and it's in honor of the 100th running of the Indy 500. Bubbly with hints of apple and tropical fruit.

Sun King Brewery, Indianapolis and Fishers, Vienna-style lager, 5.5 percent ABV, 24 IBUs: If it works for a sunny baseball game, it will certainly do the trick at the track. Drinkable, but not lacking in flavor.

Row 5

Flat12 Bierwerks, Indianapolis and Jeffersonville, pilsner-style beer, 4.8 percent ABV, 27 IBUs: IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe's first collaboration with the Indy brewery, and it comes back every May. Crisp and refreshing.

Row 6

Bare Hands Brewery, Granger, spice/herb/vegetable IPA, 5.5 percent ABV, 55 IBUs: A citrusy ale with Thai spices in a can that is almost too pretty to throw away.

17. Red Flyer

Hoosier Brewing Co., Fairland (not open to public), Irish ale, 6 percent ABV, 28 IBUs: An Indy 500 tale tells of brothers that won the pole with a home-built race car called the Red Flyer. Malt-forward with the perfect name.

Row 8

People’s Brewing Co., Lafayette, pre-Prohibition-style American lager, 4.2 percent ABV, 17 IBUs: Superb after a long day’s work or a long day at the track. This beer is a throwback to the Thieme & Wagner Brewery that produced beer in Lafayette from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s. The brewery is making comeback this summer.
